Now I'm just plain confused as to the order that these forms have to be filled out. Form 1 or 3? C&R first or is it form a Trust first?
|
|
|
a copy of the trust needs to be sent in with your Form 1 to the ATF. form 3s are for SOT holders, which you are not.
send in your c&r paperwork asap because that could be 30-90 days. i would advise against sending in the c&r with your form 1 and trust. you can send in your form 1 and trust whenever you fill them out. |

Got my C&R a couple months back and have been dragging my feet on getting a trust set up. I fired off an email to my CLEO just to see if she'll sign. If she will, I'll just go that direction.
Figured that now that I have a Mk18 upper (10.3") coming this way, I might as well start the SBR process so I'm not restricted to only using it on a pistol lower. |

Any luck in DeKalb (city or county). I'm getting ready to try trust. So I don't put cr info in form 1 just send it with the trust?

Did he say anything? Does he approve of people doing this or do you know him or someone that knows him? Nope - I didn't know anyone before starting the process. I contacted his office, and they gave me the info to get fingerprinted. The sheriff was on vacation at the time, and I had already gone for fingerprinting by the time he got back. The people at the CSI division could not have been more pleasant. When the sheriff got back, he called me himself and we set a time to get together, and I got the impression that he has no issues with this. He was a great guy - we sat in his office and talked for what seemed like a half an hour. I walked out with the signatures I needed and had it in the mail by the end of the day. |

I sent my paperwork with a trust back in August. Just got the email saying I was denied as trusts are not allowed to make SBRs.
Sir, Illinois state law only allows for the making of an SBR if the following regulations are met: (A) the person has been issued a Curios and Relics license from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; or (B) the person is an active member of a bona fide, nationally recognized military re-enacting group and the modification is required and necessary to accurately portray the weapon for historical re-enactment purposes; the re-enactor is in possession of a valid and current re-enacting group membership credential; and the overall length of the weapon as modified is not less than 26 inches. Unfortunately a Trust cannot meet either of these conditions and thus it is against Illinois state law for the Trust to make an SBR. I hope that helps.

Did you get your C&R license first? |

Talk with the NFA dept.. They made it clear (to me) that SBR can not be on a trust in IL. The reason is confirmed that a trust can not have a C&R. Even if the holder of the trust has a C&R.. The dumb state law says an individual with a C&R can have SBR (with CLEO sign off) but no trust. Unless the state law is revised. No way around the Cleo sign off :( So unless you can get a CLEO its dead in the water for some of us.

If you're pending on a form 1 and sent it in on a trust, do you lose your place in line? I'm sure I can get the cleo signoff and send it in but don't want to be out 6 months of waiting
|
|
|
Or alternatively, is it okay to use a low that is engraved with your trust info to make an AR pistol?

I'm just learn about these now as i had a few in the pipe line. That got kicked back. I talked to the ATF they were originally allowing them on a trust. At some point they changed them. So there are a few out there with stamps on a trust. Hell i have 2 sbr tax stamps on a trust. Since panic buying I never actually converted them to SBRs. Not sure what the ATF will do about the few ones floating around on a trust. Since they technically not legal. I have to do a little more digging.

How do you know they got kicked back? Mail?
How long does the refund take? |

This is BS I want this to be resolved asap i have 3 form 1's on a trust im waiting on now. WTF they just change their minds when they want to WTF.
|

So what do i do now i have two lowers engraved with trust info already and now i cant use them so i'm out the engraving fee and cost of lower WTF.

Yeah this sucks about the trust issue I sent for 2 6 months ago and just wish if they weren't going to allow it they would send everything back so I can start them over.

|

I'm far from an expert, but isn't it more an issue of your FFL checking the "other" box when filling out your original paperwork on the lowers (like they should be doing if you intended to make a pistol)? I can't see how having something engraved would render it illegal for going ahead with either a pistol or full-length rifle build.

If it's never been made into a rifle then it can be made into a pistol.

I never got a chance to engrave them. So i'm okay. Just have to see if my local Cleo will sign off now. So much for not attracting attention to my self

We're you denied or did you have errors? What reason did they give?
|
|

they sent an error letter. The only explanation was on 2 sticky notes.
note 1: cannot use 03 FFL if applying as a trust. 03 license is under name "last name, first name", an individual. not registered w/ trust. note 2: the application is VOID unless you wish to apply as an individual and submit new forms. |

I sent a email to Gary Schaible at the ATF earlier in the week about a denied eform 1 in which I applied as a trust and was denied because I used multi in the caliber field. Mr. Clutter called me this afternoon saying trusts cannot be used for SBR's in Illinois unless the law is changed to a no C&R required state, he also acknowledged the fact some trust's have been approved and said they are in violation of state law and need to be corrected. I have a paper form 1 due up for approval in Jan. he's allowing me to send an individual form 1 in place of the trust one that's on file and keep my place in line as far as my two eform 1's they will be cancelled. I knew this came as no surprise receiving this phone call as Todd stated trust aren't allowed unless the law is worded to not require a C&R for possession. I know this sucks as I have 3 engraved receivers with trust info on them but the law is the law.

My e-form just got kicked back today. Same reason as everyone else...........Trust can't hold a C&R
Now to find out if my sheriff will be cool or not. Would suck if not, since I've already got the Mk18 upper and it would suck to have to keep it as a pistol Fuck this state |

This is such bs. So what do I do about the one they approved on a trust 3 days ago?
Mo you have some on a trust. What did they tell you to do? |
|
|
The few i have are on a trust are in violation of state law. Good thing is i never actually built them. I will have to redo mine and I have to get my mine on a individual form 1. That is going to take some time for me. Right now my time and energy are being spend concentrating in trying to find a new job.
|
|
|
Just in case I get denied because I went the trust route I want to be ready to go w/ a Form 1 w/ my CLEO signed off.
Few Questions: With the individual form 1 I'll need to do fingerprints and a photo id in addition to having the CLEO sign off? Since I already have my lower engraved with "John Doe NFA Trust", should I put that under the section 4h? |

View Quote Yes to both...the fingerprints have to be on a FBI card (not digital), and you have to send in 2 cards (not copies). When I did mine, the CSI division of my county sheriff's office did them willingly, almost as if it was a frequently requested service, and they didn't keep a copy for their own records. The photo id is essentially like a passport photo or FOID photo, 2" x 2". I had Walgreens do mine out of convenience, but there really isn't any specifications that I saw as to what the photo had to look like. When my wife sent in her FOID app, they ended up using her driver's license photo that was on file, and not the one that she sent. Not sure if this is the same situation. |

how long do the Eform-1s take? can someone link me to this?

only a trust can use an eform and since we now cant do trust.
I talked to ATF head today and that is an affirmative. They will deny them all that are on trusts You have no choice but to submit the paper forms |

I just got off the phone with the NFA about 2 hours ago. After calling about 4 times I finally talked to the examiner. Im assuming it was Nicole Dudash, she was very helpful and said the trusts are no-go until they change the law in Illinois. I explained how I got my error letter during the shutdown and just sent back stuff not knowing what to do. She said it was still in the system (havent opened my error letter yet) and they were making a note in the system to return all my paperwork when they get to it. She said to just do the individual route now and when the paperwork comes back to send everything AGAIN to the West Virginia address provided.
Has anyone dealt with Dupage Sheriff yet? |

I got a phone call from NFA mid December, expectedly, about trusts not accepted. the
lady on the phone agreed to not outright deny it but let me apply as individual within 30 days correction period I received 2 blank Fom1s, 2 FBI print card and the letter or correction with control number. Without much hope, I emailed my Chief of Police, being that I live in Buffalo Grove....and guess what, he agreed to sign it after he called NFA and got clarifications about the new law, and today, I met with him, got signatures, rolled prints at the same time while in PD, stopped by Walgreens to get pictures and dropped the whole thing in the mail! no place in the queue lost!!!!! Happy day! |
